To be filled with the Life of Christ – Part 1
Then He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. John20:22
Firstly, to be filled with the life of Christ means to be filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is intoxicating and when you are truly filled, He owns your soul. John 16:13-15 ‘But when the Friend comes, the Spirit of the Truth, He will take you by the hand and guide you into all the truth there is. He won’t draw attention to Himself, but will make sense out of what is about to happen and, indeed, out of all that I have done and said. He will honor Me; He Read the rest of this entry
Praying as an act of Worship
I urge you …to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority…This is good and pleases God our Savior 1Tim2:1-3 [NLT]
God admonishes us to dedicate time to praying for other people’s needs besides our own. From the scripture above it is clear that God considers this an act of worship and it pleases Him.

Cornerstones of Relationships
I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are My friends, since I have told you everything the Father told Me. John 15:15
Your relationship with God needs a lot of time and work. How you started out initially is not what will sustain you for the duration of your walk with God. You need to attain excellence by the strength of the Holy Spirit plus understand the role of competence, sacrifice, and devotion.
Cornerstones of Prayer
Never stop praying. 1 Thes.5:17 [NLT]
Prayer is talking to God the Father, in the name of God the Son and by the power of God the Holy Spirit. To attain excellence in prayer whether as an intercessor or a child of God, you must be competent, sacrificial and devoted.

Cornerstones of Parenting
Train up your child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. Prov.22:6
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward Psa.127:3
Parenting extends beyond the day of childbirth. We can discern from the nine months pregnancy period and the anxiety of the labor period that parenting is a lot of work. Excellence in parenting equals competence, sacrifice and devotion.

According to His purpose
‘The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ… and God has put each part just where He wants it. In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary’ 1Cor.12:18b, 22.
For a lot of people, it is not news that God has a part for us all to play in His big picture. The above scripture points out to us that even though we are part of one body, we have different and unique roles. Every one of us is fruit with seed in itself and God expects us to bear fruit. In God’s Favourite House, we say Read the rest of this entry
Unite and Cleave!
‘Therefore, a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall become united and cleave to his wife, and they shall become one flesh’. Genesis 2:24 [AMP]
Marriage is one of the institutions that cannot be entered into without commitment. If you are an adult female/male, every relationship with the opposite sex must be clearly defined.
